Marshland Whispers I

Abstract, mixed media landscape painting by Carolyn J Roberts

Perfect for a thoughtful gift or a quiet corner of your home.

An intimate, expressive landscape inspired by the quiet, introspective beauty of the winter marshlands — those softened moments when the horizon dissolves and the boundaries between land, water, and sky blur into a single breath. In this small, original work, gentle washes of earthy browns echo the subtle shifts of tide and light.

Through layered watercolour, acrylic ink and oil pastel, textured marks emerge like traces of stories half-remembered: salt-stained timbers, reeds bowing in a cold breeze, the faint imprint of footsteps long since washed away. The surface holds a sense of time etched slowly — moments suspended between ebb and flow, frost and thaw, silence and movement.

Though modest in scale, this piece is complete in itself - a quiet, considered artwork designed to be lived with, capturing that in-between space the marshes know so well… where everything feels hushed, held, and hovering on the edge of change.
